I understand the use of Hide but you have to con something to make sure it worked and sneaking as a rogue. A rogue can Hide and sneak at the same time and stay hidden but no other class. So whats the point of sneak if your not hidden? Does it somehow lower your agro/threat lvl while your moving slow?

Sneak is an amazing skill. Not so great for clerics, but basically, the usage for any class capable of ranged attacks is this: if you're sneaking and you use a ranged attack (bow or thrown weapon) to aggro a monster, no other monsters that have their backs turned to you will aggro, even if they are right next to the one you're pulling. So, sneak pulling is an incredibly powerful way to split a lot of camps.
And if you're trying to just get around somewhere, sometimes you can get by a monster with Sneak - if it has its back turned to you, it can't see you, regardless of see invis or what-have-you.
Another use is for handing in quests to hostile NPCs (since you con indifferent with Sneak and they generally don't turn to you when you hand the items in), and for selling to merchants who are hostile (or even getting better prices from merchants who are apprehensive, since again, Sneak makes you indifferent con). You can even use it for banking with hostile NPCs, although I think you may need to be careful and hide behind a wall for this to work.
